After striking out on their top free-agent choices like LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan and Greg Monroe, the Lakers moved on to fill the roster with three experienced veterans.

First the team signed the NBA's current sixth man of the year, guard Lou Williams for three seasons, while also giving rookie guard/forward Anthony Brown a three-year contract (with the first two seasons fully guaranteed).

Soon after, the Lakers inked forward Brandon Bass on a two-year deal. Bass can opt out after the 2015/16 campaign to once again become a free agent.
